Need help guys, about 2 months into my ram and having a tough time picking out a grille... The sport almost feels like the best option, but I just hate not being unique. Would like to see any and all pics even if they may not be my style. Personally not a huge fan of led bars included or blacked out 'big mouths'. Interested in lower grille options too. Pic below for reference, sorry I don't have a better one, out of the country atm.

Mine just has the black honey comb and black ram. That's all I need really. I don't like over the top grills either with the brushed aluminum borders or rivets or any of that. I like to personalize in other areas. It's a ram it needs its crosshairs 6492444754e86a54d5dc0f759f44497a.jpg

Well you did say unique and I have only seen one other post on here with the T-Rex grille. If you dont like this one they do have others. I personally think they have the best grilles in the market.

Raptor look. Have always liked the look.. Have since added the Heavy Duty badge that I removed from door to lower right hand side...

Changed mine out for chrome honeycomb inserts, but wouldnt do that on a sport model. Seen a pic where a member had one of these painted gloss black and it looked really sharp to me.

Can you take a close-up that shows a bit more details?

I was in the same boat. Wanted to customize it because it's something I genuinely enjoy doing but didn't want to do the same cookie cutter crap everyone else does. Went through a few different setups so far, I've decided on the look I want and am slowly getting it there. Won't be to everyone's taste but it's my truck, it only needs to please me.

Stock sport grille

Plasti-Derped it black..was happy with this but again, too easy, everyone does it.
1292150_10200554821289427_1750187583_o.jpg


Started brainstorming and wanted to try accenting with red..tried PlastiDip again and liked what I was onto but wasn't satisfied with the finish color. Too flat and kinda pink.
10386307_10202529246968835_727801132926819805_n.jpg


Started scouring the interwebs for other options and came across a picture of a 2500 Power Wagon that had exactly what I tried to do. I got an instant hard on.
2014-Ram-2500-Power-Wagon-front-three-quarter-02.jpg

Contacted my local dealership to inquire how to get a set of those red inserts. No dice. That slight difference in the grille frame makes the bottom set of inserts all the same length instead of the very bottom one being shorter like the very top. You would need 2 sets of the short top inserts to do a straight up swap. I put out craigslist and facebook posts looking to buy or trade with someone and finally got a hit. This gentleman requested me to make them black again and he would straight up trade. Yes please! So I then had all but two, I left them all off for a while, wanted all or nothing lol. I then contacted the dealer again and they were helpful in getting me just those two shorter upper inserts that I needed. They took them right off a truck in their lot. It was awesome service but I paid an embarrassing price for it! I then took those two pieces to a paint shop and they matched it very nicely. Don't have a side by side pic unfortunately but here is the most recent pic and you can see the difference in the finish. I like it.

I just recently added custom badges

18301909_10209051770387844_1417666976862152127_n.jpg


That's where I'm at now. I also want to do something with that lower fascia piece but can't decide. It has those two long fins that are an exact match to the grille inserts and I've been thinking about trying to paint them red and see how I like it. Haven't tried yet as I'm worried it may start to be too much or I won't be able to match the colors properly. Don't think I want to spend money on that getting it painted. We'll see.

Hope this is helpful. As you said, it may not be your taste, I know for damn sure there will be people that hate it. Please keep any negativity to yourself guys, we're a like minded community of enthusiasts/hobbyists here!

^ very cool, red is my favorite color, so I can definitely appreciate the accents. Awesome work on the badges, that's awesome. Doesn't quite feel right for my setup, by thanks for sharing, looks great.

Thanks to all this far for sharing... I'm still in the clouds trying to fogure out my setup.

Thank you! I did a touch of red on my black wheels as well to go along with it.

Anybody have a pic of the traditional silver Ram Head emblem on the blacked out honeycomb grill?

I think it'll look good on this:

You should check out the AutoAnything website, they always have at least 20% off specials.

Yeah, I've checked carid and autoanything. Didn't find anything that jumped out. Getting a headlight upgrade with morimoto projectors, so I don't think the led bar will be much use, nor is it the look I'm going for.

Does anyone have any secondhand honeycomb black grill inserts they can send me to the UK. I have 2016 Ram sport. But I way prefer the look of the honeycomb grille.
There are no shops or dealers for Dodge in the UK. I personally shipped my ram over from the USA. Happy to pay good via PayPal.

This was a little project I did for mine. Stock grill that I cut the crosshairs out of and made it my own. I'm not big into buying those eBay grills.

Not fully yet. I just threw a quick coat of paint on it. Was getting antsy about how it was going to look on my truck. Couple little things to do it and then I'm going to paint match it to my truck.
